4.9 / 5 4.9 / 5 michael [Moreambe, GB] on 02/11/2009 (Mature couple)

Location. Facilities.friendly staff,

A room with a view over the centre of the castle would have been nice we were in room 109. I can't really say this is a bad point because value for money was excellent.

Overall: Excellent we are planning our next visit.  (108594171)

Location of hotel is wonderful, the castle is majestic and breathtaking and the grounds are amazing. I have never been so close to so many varieties of birds of prey. Staff, excellent, very efficient and obliging. Bar and hotel, atmospheric and authentic. Food and restaurant very good. Exceptional value for money.

Looked out of my fifth floor window to admire the view, and the rubbish skips were all lined up beneath my window, room 504.

Overall: Wonderful, a truly amazing and magical experience,everything about Peckforton Castle was wonderful.  (108219076)

A lady called AMY was wonderful, She served us breakfast, made chit-chat, was very friendly andf pleasant, and when we checked out, she was aagin at the reception, with a smile. Actually the ONLY staff member we saw making an "effort" with customer service and contact! Well done to her! Unfortunately this was our last hr that we met her, but certainly Amy made the difference!

On booking in, staff at reception seemed very unfriendly when we booked in. We stood there in the reception room, the gentleman looked at us, NO GREETING, NO SMILE, and we announced we would like to check in. The lady took our names, NO WELCOME TO THE HOTEL.. THE USUAL GREETING ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM A HOTEL.. The rooms were ready, after making radio contact with staff and we were allowed to check in. Still no smiles from staff were seen.....

Overall: The room we stayed in 109: When you sit on the lavatory, one notices IMMEDIATELY that it is LOOSE.......as soon as you sit, the lavatory shifts from the wall, as well as the shower rail being loose.......one wonders how long the Building, plumbing system will survive! We tried to mention this to the staff, no-one seemed too interested, so we left it!  (108555579)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
